Original Abstract

Plasma-polymerized thin films of vinyltriethoxysilane have been prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition using an RF (13.56 MHz) helical coupling pulsed-plasma system. Thin films of the thickness ranging from 80 nm to 1.5 um were subjected to nanoindentation measurements. The Youngs modulus determined from the indentation load-displacement curve has increased with the effective power used from 4 GPa to 11 GPa. Thin films have exhibited an abrupt increase of the hardness at the film surface.

Key words in English
